Of wolves and men / by Lopez, Barry Holstun,1945-2020.(CARDINAL)143579;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-308) and index.Introduction -- Canis lupus linnaeus -- Origin and description -- Social structure and communication -- Hunting and territory -- And a cloud passes overhead: Amaguk and sacred meat -- A wolf in the heart -- Wolf warriors -- The beast of waste and desolation: Clamor of justification -- Wolfing for sport -- An American pogrom -- And a wolf shall devour the sun: Out of a medieval mind -- The reach of science -- Searching for the beast --Images from a childhood -- A howling at twilight -- Epilogue: On the raising of wolves and a new ethology -- Afterword: Reacquaintance with wolves.Originally Published in 1978, this special twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of the National Book Award finalist includes an entirely new afterword in which the author considers the current state of knowledge about wolves and recent efforts to rein-troduce wolves to their former habitats in American wilderness areas. Humankind's relationship with the wolf is based on a spectrum of responses running from fear to admiration and affection. Lopez's classic, careful study won praise from a wide range of reviewers and went on to improve the way books about wild animals are written. Of Wolves and Men reveals the uneasy interaction between wolves and civilization over the centuries, and the wolf's prominence in our thoughts about wild creatures. Drawing on an astonishing array of literature, history, science, and mythology as well as considerable personal experience with captive and free-ranging wolves, Lopez argues for the necessity of the wolf's preservation and envelops the reader in its sensory world, creating a compelling picture of the wolf both as real animal and as imagined by man. A scientist might perceive the wolf as defined by research data, while an Eskimo hunter sees a family provider much like himself. For many Native Americans the wolf is also a spiritual symbol, a respected animal that can make both the individual and the community stronger. With irresistible charm and elegance, Of Wolves and Men celebrates scientific fieldwork, dispels folklore that has enabled the Western mind to demonize wolves, explains myths, and honors indigenous traditions, allowing us to further understand how this incredible animal has come to live so strongly in the human heart.1220L

When Hooten dies due to his injuries, as bad as they feel about it, there is little that they can do. However, the dead man’s mother—a widow to a brutal mobster—wastes no time making a call to an old associate to settle the score. --
